A and B have money in the ratio of 2 : 1. If A gives ₹2 to B, the money will be in the ratio of 1 : 1. What were the initial money they had?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
A : B
2 : 1 = 3 .....(i)
1 : 1 = 2 ....(ii)
Now, (i) × 2 and (ii) × 3
A : B
4 : 2 = 6
3 : 3 = 6
-1R = Rs. 2
Therefore,
A = 4R = Rs. 8
B = 2R = Rs. 4
